Messangers to the World
Jesus didn’t choose angels to lead out in the work to reach fallen, sinful humans. He chose people who understood the struggle to surrender, people who showed in their lives what He had done in their hearts. As Jesus showed by becoming human, both the human and the divine are needed to bring salvation to our world. The human followers of Jesus must have His divine power in their hearts to...

Revelation 3:20
Judas had the same opportunities as the other disciples. But living God’s way conflicted with his plans and desires. He would not surrender his will to God. With great tenderness, Jesus reached out to Judas day after day, even though He knew that Judas would betray Him. While protecting his privacy, Jesus showed Judas over and over that He could read his heart. He warned him about the...

Matthew 4:19
Apart from Jesus, our work seems meaningless and wasted. But when we work as He directs us, He inspires faith and hope, and His power is clear to see. The One whose words gathered fish can also touch human hearts and direct them to His followers-His fishers of people. Jesus picked simple fishermen because they had little to unlearn. These men had natural talent, but more importantly, they were...

“All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heart this. They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff [Luke 4:28,29].”
With shouts and curses, the crowd forced Jesus toward the edge of a nearby cliff, planning to shove Him off to die on the rocks below. There, in the middle of...

Some of the younger youth girls in my church were asking me if i liked anybody at church. I mentioned how many of the aunties/uncles were assuming me and another guy were either dating, in a relationship or even married. I honestly am baffeled over this assumption because half the time i’m not even near the kid! Anywho, the younger girls than said something that really made me think :...
